<p>If I have AP credit worth a semester (16 credit), is it possible to graduate in 3.5 years (a semester early)? </p>

<p>I plan on doing two co-ops during summers of sophomore and junior.</p>

<p>Coops are not summer jobs. They generally run 6 months and you do not have the option to shorten them. </p>

Sorry I meant to say is it possible to graduate with 7 semesters of classes?
I don’t see why it’s not possible but I want to make sure. </p>

<p>You can do it but realize that most coops run for fixed periods, usually six months, so you may take 7 semesters of classes but still need 4 years to finish. </p>

<p>Yes, it’s possible to do 7 semesters of classes depending on your major and your APs. Some majors do not have much flexibility (like engineering) so this would be difficult. But for most majors, it would be feasible. If you end up realizing that 7 isn’t quite feasible, you could do a summer session between co-op and classes, which is a half semester where you take 2 classes, meaning you’d end up with 7.5 semesters and still save a bit of money.</p>
